What can be done for these vertical lines under my eyes...they are extended lines down my cheeks when I smile (and I smile a lot) I have had botox/dysport injected into my crows feet but it does nothing for these lines. Maybe I just haven't found the right injector...is there a certain technique used for Botox and these lines?? I use Retin A at night .05 and a great moisturizer and CE Ferulic and glycolic cream w/ sunscreen in am.

There are a lot of options for you, but you will need an in person consultation.  It is hard to tell if your masseter (the chewing muscle) is larger on one side than the other.  Botox can correct this.  If it is a structural issue, then fillers such as Radiesse or Voluma and/or...

Your results with fat grafting is not uncommon in the cosmetic world. Fat injections are so unpredictable and you look like a duck or pillbury's doughboy for 2-3 weeks before you look human again in many cases, then when it is gone at 3-6 months , you start over again. I'm joking slightly...
